This is an actual job application a 17-year-old boy submitted at a McDonald’s fast-food establishment in Florida – and they hired him because he was so honest and funny!
NAME: Greg Bulmash

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?
Yes, but they’re better suited to a more intimate environment.
MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER? If I had one, would I be here?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS? Of what?
DO YOU HAVE A CAR?
I think the more appropriate question here would be “Do you have a car that runs?”
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?
I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing house Sweepstakes.
DO YOU SMOKE?
On the job no, on my breaks yes.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?
Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde super model who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.
DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?
Yes – Absolutely.
SIGN HERE: Aries.
I’m a big fan of Persian food. Of course, I am a big fan of a lot of food, but nothing seems more satisfying to me than good kabab, saffron rice and bread that’s done just right. On my first and only… (via Shawn H. on Yelp)
UPDATE: This place is out of business :-(
I’ve been to a lot of diners. I’ve been in the restaurant business. I’m pretty understanding when it comes to all that can happen in various situations in that business. Broadway Diner has good food. The service could be described in many ways. Good would not be part of any of these descriptions. In a part of five (5), we all ordered various “deluxe” (with fries) burgers. One of our party has a speech impediment. I was sitting across from her when she ordered “a hamburger and french fries” just like everyone else at the table. When our food arrived, one person’s order was a little wrong but he just took it the way it was—he wanted no bread, so he just removed the bun and made his hamburger, avocado and egg (with mustard, yeah nice, I know) “salad” and was happy. Our friend with the speech impediment received only a bowl of fries. None of us noticed right away and she mentioned it a few minutes later, so we called the server back over to the table and, after informing him that she had actually ordered “a hamburger and french fries”, he began to argue, stating that he only heard her say “french fries” when she ordered—nothing about a hamburger. His retort (which should not occur in his position at all) was delivered with a barely borderline hostile stance. When four of us started in on him that she definitely wanted the same thing we had all ordered and I spoke up that I’d heard her order it because she was right before me, he finally said “OK” and took her burger order as though he was doing us a favor by bringing what she had ordered in the first place. After the meal, looking at the check, a $3.95 side order of fries was on the menu right after her deluxe burger. Of course, that was not OK with us since she did not order a side of fries and had not eaten even half of the fries that came with the burger or any from the mistaken side order that had been served. I just went to the manager because I already had lost my patience with the argumentative server and had no interest in making a lot of noise in a busy diner. You would think the manager would just “make it right” for me as the customer, no questions, big smile, etc. I would think that anyway. Some might even offer a free desert or comp the burger. Not this clown. He took the check to the server and got the same hostile attitude and body language I’d gotten from him. This “manager” came back over to me and tried to hand me the same argument that I had just finished explaining to him was inaccurate and unacceptable. Mind you, none of this should have even occurred. There are a thousand food choices in this area. If a business wants customers, they must keep them happy! I stood my ground and the $3.95 side of fries was removed from the check. Not good enough though. I vote with my wallet. You’ll find me somewhere else next Saturday night and you won’t find me at The Broadway Diner again. (via Shawn H. on Yelp)
Goes well with soup, salad, or main dish
It’s not bad for Reston (the land of planned community and every franchise known to the suburban hero) but certainly does not rank 5 stars in any area. Ordering is crowded at a small counter and rushed and you stand in line directly in front of the bottled drinks, forks and napkins, etc. as people try to grab what they need. The table arrangement reminds me of eating in Chinatown (NYC). Not a bad thing for me because it’s very familiar but it is also quite crowded and noisy. The food? Other than the chicken gyro salad (that “chicken” stinks), I have had good food experiences at Reston Kabob. It’s the real deal and yes, the bread is good (although I have had much better). Pricing is a little below average for this kind of food (like Moby Dick and others), so that might make up for the crowded, poorly laid out space and “good” food quality. For Reston, this is about as good as it gets though, so save your tolls and time and try it for yourself! If I could give 3.75 stars I would, so 4 may be a little kind. (via Shawn H. on Yelp)
